Forget about more unmetered Netflix deals

Netflix isn't even a month old here in Australia, but that doesn't mean the streaming giant doesn't feel a slight sting of remorse over how it came to market here.

As part of its quarterly earnings statement, Netflix drew attention to its fight for net neutrality in the US, and highlighted its deals with iiNet and Optus in Australia, stating that they "should have avoided that and will avoid it going forward".

So in other words, if you're hoping for unmetered Netflix on any other ISP in Australia, don't hold your breath.

Boosting the data

Of course, in the few weeks since Netflix launched, we've already seen ISPs like Telstra automatically boost data allowances in order to cope with the increased demand streaming video in HD demands.
